Joe’s Jeep – Big Tex JKU

Joe (@BigTexJKU on Instagram) shared his rugged rig with us, and explained how he got into Jeeping. His futile promise not to build it up and spend a ton of money on the Jeep is an all-too-familiar premise for us gearheads. We love Joe’s Jeep and I think you will too! Here’s what Big Tex shared with us.

I wasn’t always a Jeep guy, in fact, I used to love lifted trucks that never touched anything other than pavement! Luckily I changed from my awful ways and bought my 6 speed Jeep stock back in the spring of 2014 after convincing my wife I wouldn’t be spending unnecessary money on it like I did my vehicle prior. Little did I know I’d be driving a completely different rig top to bottom a couple years later.

The real mods didn’t come till after about 2 years owning the Jeep. It turned into a domino effect and I kept finding a reason to buy new parts every few months.

I absolutely LOVE my BDO hardtop and so do my dogs because of the added headroom and sliding windows. I also love my Garvin industries roof rack, which has been put through its paces and surprised me every single time.

My wishlist is never-ending, but at this moment in time, I’m looking at getting new PRP Seats front & rear, Teraflex tire carrier, and every Black Dog Offroad product that comes out!
